War and Cinema

War and Cinema: The Logistics of Perception, a 1989 book by Paul Virilio, discusses the relationship between image and war technology. Drawing on a number of films and film directors, including Sergei Eisenstein, Francis Ford Coppola, D.W. Griffith, and Stanley Kubrick, Virilio presents an postmodern analysis of how the representational methods of photography and cinema have impacted modern and historical warfare.
